About Kindermusik
Kindermusik is a classroom learning experience. We teach children music so they can become better learners. It’s not about making little Mozarts. It’s about developing skills in the whole child – ages newborn to 7 years – cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language, and musical. For more than 25 years, we have believed music is the best conductor for learning.
Every Kindermusik semester comes with a set of At Home Materials. Each includes a book, CD, age-appropriate instrument, and activity book or journal. The classroom learning continues at home when you set aside time each day with your child to read, do unique, creative activities, or listen to music – all using the At Home Materials.
Preparing your child for success in school and life means including your child’s first and most important educator – you. As you participate in every step of the learning process, you’ll see firsthand just how essential Kindermusik is to your child’s growth.
We believe parents are the best educators. As your child grows, Kindermusik understands the development process taking place. We also want you to understand that process, because when a child’s learning needs are best understood in the classroom and at home, Kindermusik can foster all aspects of your child’s development while developing a natural sense of musical appreciation and capability.
